Pancreatic cancer is known as the 'silent killer' so deadly because it causes few symptoms until the disease is advanced.
Why experts are warning people not to kill flies and wasps coming into homes this summer
30.05.2022 - 18:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
An urgent warning has been issued to the British public to not kill flies, wasps, bees and other insects throughout the summer.
It comes after the UK has steadily been reporting warmer temperatures and sun over the last few weeks, bringing out an influx of our little winged friends. More importantly, members of the public may notice a particular lack of flies and wasps making their way into their homes.
That's because the UK's flying insect population has dramatically fallen in the last 20 years, according to a new study which shows it may have declined by as much as 60 per cent. Conservation charities Buglife and Kent Wildlife Trust asked the British public to count the number of inspected splatted against their vehicle number plates and compared it to a similar study from 2004, Yorkshire Live reports.

The results were shocking and found that, mostly in England, there were 65 per cent fewer insects recorded while Scotland recorded a 28 per cent decline. Paul Hadaway, the director of conservation at Kent Wildlife Trust, said: "The results from the Bugs Matter study should shock and concern us all. We are seeing declines in insects, which reflect the enormous threats and loss of wildlife more broadly across the country.
"These declines are happening at an alarming rate and without concerted action to address them we face a stark future. Insects and pollinators are fundamental to the health of our environment and rural economies.
"'We need action for all our wildlife now by creating more and bigger areas of habitats, providing corridors through the landscape for wildlife and allowing nature space to recover."

Acting Your Age Campaign (AYAC), which was founded four years ago by Nicky Clark, is calling for equal representation in the UK between men and women aged over 45.Women in the UK only have a “shelf life” on screen while their male colleagues have a “whole life”, the letter claims while outlining the campaign’s wishes for a “parity pledge” to help tackle “entrenched” ageism in the entertainment industry.Juliet Stevenson, Meera Syal, David Tennant, Lesley Manville and Sanjeev Bhaskar are also among the letter’s 100+ signatories.“Today’s in-demand young actress is tomorrow’s unemployed middle-aged actress,” part of the letter reads. “We are fighting to ensure that our generation of excluded women is the last generation of excluded women.“Ageism targeting women is an entrenched industry staple that is outdated, harmful and neglects the millions of audience members who appreciate seeing women over 45 telling the stories of our lives.AYAC has laid out multiple recommendations for broadcast and production company commissioners, as well as for those working in news and current affairs.
